"The environmental cost of meat is disproportionately high... Calls to curb meat consumption are growing louder, yet meat intake is climbing with rising incomes in emerging economies, coupled with entrenched habits in wealthier nations... Clean energy isn’t enough; clean food is next."

Biofuels are absurdly inefficient compared to electric vehicles. A great piece in @ourworldindata.org ourworldindata.org/biofuel-land...

Unmistakable rise in forest fires, getting bigger, longer, more destructive: 4 of the 5 worst years on record occurred since 2020. Boreal & temperate conifer forests now particularly vulnerable. Forests should be carbon sinks but in 2023 & 2024 they only absorbed ¼ of the CO2 they typically do.

“The results show that urgent action is needed to stop forest loss or the world risks losing one of its most important natural carbon buffers.” Yes! We disagree that TFFF is a forest protection “safeguard”; it's an investment scheme for profit & control 💰🤑 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Climate change is putting medicinal plants at risk, threatening health care for the 80% of people who rely on traditional medicine. Heat, habitat loss and extreme weather are altering plant chemistry, while communities fight back through conservation and knowledge-sharing.

A report finds 65 of 67 PNG land-conversion permits are controlled by Malaysian-linked firms, covering 1.68 million hectares of rainforest — mostly undisturbed. Critics say permits meant for development have enabled large-scale logging, despite a 2023 moratorium.

🚨Instead of climate justice, COP30 delivered corporate capture: 🔴 At least 20 events pushed geoengineering across pavilions and side events 🔴531 Carbon Capture and Storage lobbyists roamed the halls 🔴1 in 25 delegates represented the fossil fuel industry @ciel.org @gfc-forest.bsky.social

Press conference at #COP30 tomorrow, Nov 19 11:30am #Belém On global south sovereignty and forests, including issue of #TFFF @ienearth.bsky.social

You can *make this symbol your profile picture* if you also disagree with the TFFF—putting a price on forests and favoring wealthy investors, threatening rights and sovereignty in the South #TFFFnãoésolução #NoTFFF

On Forest Action Day at #CO30 in Belém, we highlight the demands from the Peoples Summit, which has warned against the Tropical Forest Forever Facility or TFFF as a financialisation scheme that’s an inadequate response to deforestation. We need REAL action to tackle the drivers of deforestation 🌲🌴🌳

Indonesia is using the COP30 climate summit to aggressively market its carbon credits, launching daily “Sellers Meet Buyers” sessions and seeking international commitments despite unresolved integrity issues in its carbon market. Experts warn Indonesia’s credits risk being “hot air.”

#COP30 must deliver a clear #roadmap for the transition away from #fossilfuels. That will not come easily. This is where the real fight begins. For @climatechangenews.com, I detail why we need a roadmap, what a roadmap mandate could do - and why it must not be hijacked by Brazil’s #biofuels agenda.
